I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at Stanford.
My research interests include, the political economy of development, institutional development, African legislatures, ethnic politics, citizen-leadership accountability mechanisms, democracy and limited government and political theory/philosophy.

Hello. I’m a frequent reader of your blog. I was wondering whether it would be possible to get my blog on your blog roll?
Here’s my blog http://www.ghafla.co.ke/news .
Kind regards,
Ghafla!Guy
Done.
Thanks Ken
This caught me by surprise…. I did not know you had a blog. Nice work. I am so proud of you. Inbox me on FB so that we can catch up.
I have to say…. i am surprised to see u majored in political science. I never saw u as a politics person. I just finished my bachelors in Legal Studies and i am currently pursuing an MBA in international management which i am finishing this summer. I am scheduled to start my Law school in August. I have been accepted to several schools but i have not yet decided which school as i am still waiting for several scholarship decisions due by end of March. Visit my website at http://www.paralegalandnotaryservices.com to see what i have been upto.
Can you please contact me by e-mail? I have a question.
Good stuff Ken, I am proud of you.
